Speed switch bad and Initially thought new part was wrong!
At first thought part was incorrect as the electrical connection tabs on the circuit board were not inline as the existing part. However, upon closer examination I realized that the same quantity of tabs existed on the new part and although not inline, were clearly marked the same as the original part. Unit was easily replaced and is operating just like new.

I stripped a couple of gears due with a batch of very hard dough
Taking apart the machine is really easy. I was worried the grease would have spilled all over the places, but when the machine is cool, the grease is solid, so no spill. Replace the parts is quite straightforward, and there are plenty of tutorials on line. The only tip is that the grease used by KitchenAid is dark, and it is not easy to see all the small parts when you take the gearbox apart, so pay attention at what you do and at what you throw away... when I got to put it back together I missed a special concave washer which must have been trapped in the grease. Other than that... it has been an easy repair, the mixer is back up and running and I saved a ton on $$$

The white enamel coating was breaking off the mixer beater. There was a scrapimg noise when the beater was in motion.
I simply inserted the new beater into the mixer to see if it scraped the sides of the bowl. It fit perfectly and didn't scrape the bowl like the old one did.

Mixer slow to turn on and/or register a change in speed
I followed the instructional video closely. My old circuit board was labeled and laid out slightly differently than the new one, so in addition to labeling the wires with "color" or "motor" label from the old board, I also made sure to label with more identifiers that were included on both boards such as "P1" or "P2". Once I labeled the wires with all the information, removal of the old board and installation of the new board was straightforward. This isn't the first repair I've made on my KitchenAid but it was by far the simplest.

Bad speed control
Thank goodness for YouTube. Pretty much followed the process of taking it out. Was easy, but having a video made it a bit simpler.

PLANETARY WAS FALLING OUT
First you need to remove the aluminum ring around the housing by using a Phillips screwdriver and removing one screw. You will then have 4 screws around the housing to remove. Once the screws are removed lift the housing and set aside. At the front of the machine there is a housing that encloses the gears. Remove the 4 screws, lift the housing and set aside. At this point you will see the gears and on the shaft there is a snap ring that needs to be removed. Once the snap ring is removed tap the shaft down and remove it from the bottom. To assemble insert the new planetary and reverse the steps to reassemble.

Splash from K45 KitchenAid Mixer Bowl
The shield works sufficiently. Note that the shield is not a continuous circle as shown in the picture. This actually can be an asset because it can be installed or disassembled without stopping the mixer of having to lift the head while running.
